A cheeseshop sketch, about the Cheeseshop #8
Comments
I was thinking a Cheeseshop AU, a la Coffee shop, whose owners are sick to the back teeth of people quoting the sketch at them. (It’s been years since I wrote fiction, so that’s an idea, not an offer!) |
OMG. Now I'm having ideas about not just that sketch, but quoting back every Monty Python reference. "Because Python! It's Funny!" |
Or alternatively, a Cheeseshop that has plenty of cheese, but somebody has heard “you get your Python packages from the Cheeseshop”, and misunderstood how it works.
Also:
Ideally you’d find at least a couple of packages whose names sound like real cheeses, but it’s too early for me to think of those right now. |
Okay, this idea is kinda tempting now. /o\ |
"You know, requests!" "What about pillow?" "Twisted?" |
“Celery?” “Pandas?” |
"It's dangerous?" |
Surely there’s something about pickles. Also, the shopkeeper is so proud, because they’ve just got a delivery of different cheeses, and keep trying to sell them something, anything. |
The shopkeeper finally gets them to buy a wheel of cheese, just to get them out of the shop. S: “Okay, let me just find the paper and twine, so I can wrap it for you.” |
This is sounding so very amazing! 🧀 |
Person: *is reading book about Python* WHAT HAVE I DONE. Would this work best as a script, or maybe a series of small vignettes? I’m thinking a couple of packages at a time, interspersed with illustrations of the shopkeeper getting more and more frustrated. Also, I want the simpleton customer to be a man, and the shopkeeper to be visibly non-male. And the shop is dressed the same way as in the Monty Python sketch, but with a background sign “Under new management”, because by jove did they need it. Bonus points if the illustrator slips in a nod towards the new Warehouse theme. |
(Let’s reflect on the fact that in 23 minutes, I’ve gone from “this is an idea I definitely can’t do” to “I have a Git repo, a notes file with 50 lines, the scope is now three times bigger than what we started with, and I’m making picky requirements of the illustrator I’ve just invented”. Is this what product management is like? 🧀 ) |
This development process feels very on brand for us. Also, I have some ideas for where we can find the illustrator. :) |
Do you have a bottle? |

Without the ending of the original, of course.
